Drayton Manor Theme Park

A short drive from Birmingham's city centre, the Drayton Manor
Theme Park offers an exhilarating alternative to shopping and
sightseeing. Loaded with more than 50 rides offering high-octane
thrills, the English media has lauded the park as having 'Britain's
scariest rides'. Visitors can drop 177 feet (54m) from the world's
first stand-up tower, take a watery plunge in a rescue boat down a
slippery 180º platform, fly around one of the parks two
swirling rollercoasters, or tackle the rapids with friends at
Splash Canyon. Family fun at Drayton Manor Theme Park has not been
short-circuited either, as a wide variety of child-friendly rides
are provided. The Thomas Land area (based on Thomas the Tank
Engine) is wildly popular amongst younger visitors.
